WHAT TO DO

Discuss with children where they might have seen the
American flag flown. Use their responses to make a list of these places.

Have children search through magazines or newspapers to find pictures or draw their own pictures that show these places.

Help them to write "Our Flag" at the top of the paper.

Have children arrange their pictures on the paper the way they want them to appear,
then glue the pictures on the paper.
